mossy Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Yep, I've got one of those books, bought the mounting kit too, never did the V8 though Quote
Six_Shooter Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Yep, that book has been around since the '70s. JTR (Jags That Run) has a whole series of how to V8 swap your XXXX car. Most the books were originally based on using the Small Block Chevrolet engine, but most have been updated to include LS engines as well. If you're into V8s... Quote

dat2kman Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 depends on the v8, a twin cam nissan v8 is a sweet thing... OI ! What about a lightweight 4.4 L all alloy V8 that weighs about the same as a L series 180B engine. After all Nissan did sell the 4.4 litre V8 President a proper Wangan screamer! That alloy one, still for sale, who's contemplating? $600 Quote
